Wish List - AW15 Lips

There's no confusion now, it's dark before 5,  Starbucks red cups are back, and the heating is ALWAYS on which means there is no hiding from the fact, Autumn is here and Winter is on the horizon.

With dark evenings and shorter days comes cosy drinks and Christmas shopping. It's also time to don the knitwear and up the moisturisers. It's also time to change up your colour palette too.

You've read our AW15 Nail List and now here's the Lip List. For this season there are three key lip trends; reds, purple berries and brown nudes.  These beautiful rich colours are the perfect accompaniment to your winter wardrobe and we just love them.

To get the most out of your lip wear you must first consider lip care. Keeping your lips well exfoliated and moisturised will ensure that your pout is perfect. It'll mean applying your lip colour will be a breeze and you'll have an even coating of colour. Say goodbye to flakes and peeling and say hello to smooth soft lips.

So here are our top lip colours from some of our favourite brands to keep your lips looking fabulous all Winter long.

Brown Nudes

Brown nude are the perfect colour for those not quite daring enough to go for anything too bright. They are also a good choice for people that have pale skin or lots of red tones - as they wont wash out your complexion or highlight any redness.
